In the park on Frýdlantská, the Summer Stage was born

Last week, a week-long workshop titled SUMMER SCENE+ took place in the small park on Frýdlantská Street opposite the Warsaw Cinema. After a week of hard work, something unusual was born in Liberec!

Students of architecture from Liberec, together with the local public, created real furniture in the long-neglected city park, which can be used daily for children's play, reading books, projecting films, playing guitar, and everything in between, all in a pleasant atmosphere enhanced by pots full of flowers.

The actual work was preceded by academic work in the first-year studio led by Vladimír Baldy and Jiří Žid at the Faculty of Art and Architecture of TUL. Initially, students worked in groups to create their designs, which they presented to a professional committee at the site before the workshop began. This was followed by the start of the workshop, during which they first had to clean the park of litter, such as syringes, and negotiate with the local public about what would actually be realized.

Throughout the week, work continued, and on Saturday the park was ceremonially opened, now accessible to the public. Even during the work, films were screened in the evenings, and bands performed.
What has changed, what has been added? The park is no longer overgrown, the gates are open. Today, the precious Brussels-style fence was repainted to invite people to enter. Inside the park, an unusual wooden stage was created, featuring lounge chairs with views of the tree canopy and flower pots. In the back of the park, there is a community library. Additionally, there are two unnameable structures in the shape of spatial triangles that children particularly enjoyed.

The created elements are temporary, intended to initiate further real and permanent reconstruction of the park.
The event took place as part of the Czech-German Cultural Spring, which also financially supported it. The organizer of the event was the architectural studio MAK! Partners included the association Save the Warsaw Cinema, the Fryč bookstore and antique shop, RH Faktor, and others.
